A couple more for you - Coventry City's current ground was called the City of Coventry Stadium for the 2012 Olympics, and the Coventry Stadium for the 2022 Commonwealth Games; and Leicester City's former name was Leicester Fosse, not Leicester Posse (although I rather prefer the latter!).
I'm pretty sure that at the time of the move it was referred to as New Christie Park.
I don't think it has ever had a non commercial name beyond "new" christie park
- and conceded two awful and totally avoidable goals against a pretty limited Tamworth team who couldn't believe their luck. First goal the defence stood watching as a ball bounced in the box, second goal Flo Hoti caught in possession on the edge of our boxWasn’t a goalkeeping error. The ball hits a large divot (some say part of the sprinkler system at SoL) a yard away from him. He was lined up correctly to gather that ball with appropriate technique. Nothing was wrong at all until the ball hit the divot. Sunderland fans in the bottom tier behind the goal all saw it.
Brings back memories of that beachball at SoL!
Eagle pub near the station (I am often located in there!) is the best place for beers hope you enjoy your trip albeit not the result!FC Halifax Town 3-2 Tamworth
A game of two halves. In the first half Halifax played as badly as I'd ever seen in 32 years of watching them - you can probably imagine just how bad it must've been
Two changes at half time and then Jamie Cooke brought on after about an hour and hey presto, we remembered that you pass the little round white thing and try and kick it into the other team's net. Cooke set up a tap in for Billy Waters, then scored a goal of his own to equalise, and Scott High smashed in the winner from 25 yards on 87 minutes.
Next stop (for me anyway) Boston away in a fortnight, which I'm really looking forward to
To be fair, they have also concluded that parts of those rules are lawful. It's notable that both sides are claiming victory in the dispute.
So the PL are claiming victory because, er, only parts of their rulebook have been found to be unlawful?
Because many parts that Manchester City thought were unlawful actually aren't.
Let's wait and see what the damages bill looks like and then we can determine how 'victorious' the PL have been.
Everton got dinged for breaking the rules last year, so they're probably upset with the PL in general.
Is the matter in question that was brought by Manchester City to an independent adjudication body a different matter to the Premier League action against Manchester City. Will the referred-to damages be anything to do with the decision reached by the adjudication body?
It’s a separate issue to the case brought by the Premier League, which is still ongoing. City will try to pursue damages based on this week’s ruling.
he was also regularly criticised by the PL plastics for being too defensive, boring and not attacking enough or using all of the attacking flair available.
